Cher M. le Maire,
M. Sarkis Hatspanian a subi ces derniers mois plusieurs interventions chirurgicales pour soigner son cancer. Il reçoit maintenant une chimiothérapie. Son état de santé désastreux exclut l'emploi. En conséquence, lui et sa famille de quatre personnes ont besoin d'une aide nécessaire, en commençant par le financier. Nous vous demandons d'examiner les circonstances tragiques de M. Hatspanian et d'organiser rapidement un logement subventionné pour sa famille. Nous sommes convaincus que vous apporterez votre aide pour faire face à la crise humanitaire que vivent les Hatspanians.
Merci

Dear Friend,
Nearly thirty years ago, when he was a young man, freedom-fighter Sarkis Hatspanian joined his comrades-in-arms to help liberate Karabagh/Artsakh. A few months ago, Hatspanian underwent several surgeries when he was diagnosed with cancer. He is staying at a friend's home in France while he receives chemotherapy.
Hatspanian needs your financial assistance to take care of his family, while he ffights this evil disease. Irrespective of your political affiliation, your helping hand is needed and appreciated by this Artsakh hero who left his career and comfortable life in France to make the ultimate sacrifice for our common good.
Through the efforts of Dr. Dikran Abrahamian of Canada and other concerned Armenians, a bank loan has been secured and emergency funds will be transferred to Hatspanian's account in the coming week. Stay tuned for additional information. Meanwhile, you may correspond with Dr. Abrahamian at [email protected] or [email protected] regarding this urgent matter.
